1 May 2018 COUNTRY LIFE PRESS Maryland s Oldest Breeding Farm: Established 1933 From Beginning To Winning Country Life Farm 319 Old Joppa Road P.O. Box 107 Bel Air, Maryland Merryland Farm Bottom Road Hydes, Maryland Phone: (410) info@countrylifefarm.com Inside: 2yearold Sale Preview 2 April foals 35 Follow Us! Fillies are the Future at next week s Timonium 2YearOld Sales As a racing complement to our popular Raise You Broodmare Partnerships, Country Life Farm concentrated on strong female pedigrees at last year s FasigTipton May Sale of 2YearOlds. Residual value of fillies in the Racing Stable is the key factor. We branded three filly acquisitions as our Carry Back Racing Partnerships named for the 1961 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner conceived at Country Life. The Raise You and Carry Back Partnerships share the same format: 1. No Markup. 2. Country Life buys the first 10% share of 10share LLC s; 3. TwoYear Durations; 4. 60% Majority Rule. For $30,000, we bought MarylandBred Monte Crista. She broke her maiden in her first start on the grass on April 28, earning $29,640, paying for herself in her first win. Monte Crista is entered in the 2nd race on the Preakness Card this weekend, a $52,000 turf allowance that carries a 30% MarylandBred bonus. After we bought Monte Crista, her halfbrother Just Howard reeled off 4 straight wins, including the Gr. 3 Commonwealth Derby, to be named 2017 MarylandBred Horse of the Year. Just Howard makes his 2018 debut on the Preakness card, in the Gr. 3 $250,000 Dixie Handicap. For $50,000, we signed for a Street Sense filly out of a 1/2sister to $1,297,075earner and Gr. 1 winner Elloluv. Named Street Appeal, she was set to debut on Thursday, May 17, in a $40,000 Pimlico turf allowance, but this week s rain took the races off the Turf and she is a scratch. For $40,000, we purchased a 2nd MarylandBred, by Maryland s leading sire Friesan Fire. Named Friesing Waters, she is prepping for her 3yearold grass debut and MarylandBred bonuses. Our Carry Back Racing Partnership fillies are valuable players in trainer Mike Trombetta s Fair Hill string. We intend to buy 3 more fillies in the $4050,000 range next Monday and Tuesday at Timonium.

Country Life Farm hired noted bloodstock expert Mark Reid of Walnut Green Bloodstock to select three yearlings last year, to pinhook into the FasigTipton May Sale of 2YearOldsInTraining. For $70,000, we bought a Street Sense filly out of La La s Cookin, from the family of the Street Sense stakes winner Unbridled Budget (earner of $758,837). At the breezeup on Wednesday, May 16, our first pinhook filly went a dazzling quartermile in :21 and 4/5ths, one of the fastest works of the day (click here for video). For $35,000, we bought a Maclean s Music filly, who breezes on Thursday, May 17. Last year, her sire broke through with a Preakness winner in Cloud Computing, in his first crop. For $13,000, we bought a Bodemeister colt out of a mare named Raise Up, who we had just bought, in foal to Carpe Diem. Bodemeister sired last year s Kentucky Derby winner Always Dreaming. Our colt also breezes on Thursday. We ll see how we do at the highrisk, highreward niche of pinhooking next week. Left to right: 1. Street Sense filly out of La La s Cookin 2. Maclean s Music filly out of Party Girl 3. Bodemeister colt out of Raise Up Breezing at Timonium before next week s Fasig Tipton May Sale of 2YearOldsin Training. M I S S P A U L I N E f o a l s D e c l a r a t i o n o f W a r f i l l y a s s i r e s s o n w i n s G r. 1 F r e n c h G u i n e a s Raise You LLC broodmare Miss Pauline, purchased for $40,000 in foal to Belmont Stakes winner Tonalist (she foaled a colt we sold for the LLC for $65,000), recently foaled a beautiful filly by War Front s champion son Declaration of War. Miss Pauline, whose sister Tempo West is the dam of Declaration of War, saw her entire pedigree and produce enhance in value when Declaration of War s son Olmedo won the French classic Grade One Guineas last Saturday. Miss Pauline is a halfsister to Belmont Stakes winner Union Rags. She earned $207,000 racing for her breeder Mrs. Phyllis Wyeth. On Wednesday, May 16, Miss Pauline was bred to War Front s son Mosler, hoping to duplicate the affinity that her pedigree shows for the blood of Danzig s champion sire War Front. Both Miss Pauline and her Declaration of War filly are scheduled to be sold this fall, in the twoyearsanddone format of our Raise You Breeding Partnerships.
